Once again, back into the rain forest, escaping the crowds on the coast. Somehow hard to understand for us why most of the tourists stay always on the coast in Queensland. At the end a beach is a beach, sometimes nicer, sometimes not, but still a beach. Well, on the […]

We did several whale watching tours during the past couple of years and mainly we saw the whales like this… But this changed today! Already the first whale we saw was breaching the surface several times and showing in an incredible way how these 25 tons animals are able to […]
After nearly a week on a small island, it was time again to stretch our legs and go for some hikes. What can be better than visiting some of the smaller national parks in Queensland, not so well known by tourists from overseas, instead of staying close to the coast? […]

Heading back south from the cape, the rain hit us unfortunately again so there was not so much we could do. At least we know now why they call it “Wet Tropics World Heritage Area”. Wallaman Falls in Girrigun NP are really beautiful, highest falls in Australia; still we were […]
